KEVIN REVIEWS HIS CD

           
Dear Reader,

If you are indeed reading this, I want YOU to know about Kevin Piastra and why you should buy his newly released CD… “Mental Spewage 2.0” Now way MORE album for way LE$$ money!
     Hey, Kev’s a very nice dude. Really sweet. Plus he’s getting away with this stand-up crap. He doesn’t work hard—rather, he works very hard at avoiding more work. He just barely gets bu. But he (almost) makes a living making people laugh. Now how fabuliscious is that?
  
     The problem is he’s paranoid (among other things) that any second some official dork in a Brooks Brothers suit is gonna show up yelling “Hey, punk! Get a real job.” And, you see, he wants to avoid that for as long as he can (much like an inmate on death-row tries to put off his execution by eating his last meal as slow as possible).
    
     This is where YOU can help. If you download his comedy album http://thecomedian.bandcamp.com plus recommend your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and pets to buy copies as well as give them as gifts to their acquaintances and absolute strangers you/they pass in the supermarket then there’s an outside chance he’ll never have to hold down  boring, dead-end working job again. Which is a good thing for us all as you really don’t want him preparing any meals you were planning on eating, nor coming around to fix your pilot light.

      Support Piastra’s “art”… http://thecomedian.bandcamp.com It’s okay to give to your parents and great for anyone who’s got teenagers. Wonderful for students and anyone else who could use a nice, hearty laugh.
     This fine, quality independently produced product of Piastranomical™ proportions is chock full of super, multimedia bonus content and only costs a few bucks, so you could even afford to gift it to people you don’t really like. Satisfaction guaranteed or your’s truly will offer the humblest of apologies (However all sales are as final as the late stages of a terminal illness).

       The Second-Most Important Recording of the Century

                                             BY KEVIN PIASTRA
Kevin Piastra’s latest CD trails only Kevin Piastra’s previous in all of America’s albums
 
It's no secret that the music industry is dying. (Note to editor: Use the most poignant typeface you can for the previous sentence. Might I suggest Helvetica Blues or Sobbing Arial?) In these times of economic turmoil, file sharing, and a third thing I blame on online piracy, Americans are searching for a new pop culture phenomenon they can truly obsess over; something to lift their dampened spirits—something that costs under $10.00 at online merchants.

That something has finally arrived: Mental Spewage 2.0 ($5.00!).

     Imagine if The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Lady Gaga teamed up to write the Greatest American Album, except under the genre of comedy. Now imagine that didn't happen and instead Kevin Piastra wrote and performed one…because that's what happened.

     I believe it was Ke$ha who once sang, “Wake up in the morning feeling like K. Piastra, put on his album, I’m sittin’ down - I’m gonna hear his CD.”

     Mental Spewage is a work of stunning hilarity and sheer brilliance, and it contains some of the greatest hyperbole ever spoken in the history of mankind. Also, it has a cover. And track listings, many of them in chronological order!

But Mental Spewage is more than just the perfect gift for birthdays, tossing into Easter baskets, stuffing Christmas stockings, including with Valentine’s cards, playing for babies in the womb, or used as background noise while you are setting up the altar for your Wiccan ceremony some fortnight.  It's a beacon of hope for artists in any creative endeavor, proving there is still originality and craftsmanship left on this planet.

There’s even content to be enjoyed on the level of average listeners (certainly not my target demographic) whether relating to material about confusing fortune cookies, despair and frustration regarding tomato sauce, or just having something you can pump through your ear-buds to avoid conversation with that registered sex-offender on the bus, Mental Spewage has it all.

Not unlike the first release, Mental Spewage 2.0 is sure to become a classic as treasured as Dark Side of the Moon or the 30-second iTunes previews to the songs on Dark Side of the Moon.  
I give it 4 stars up out of 2 ½ thumbs.
